5 New Ways to Boost Kitchen Efficiency and Cut Costs

Sean Kennedy, QLD Sales Manager at Silver Chef sees opportunities every day in club and pub catering. With 20 years experience in your industry, Sean knows better than most, that inefficiency and waste drive up operational costs. To improve efficiency, and lower food and wage costs, here are Sean’s latest recommendations:

1. Self-Polishing Glass Washers - eliminate hours and hours each week drying and polishing glassware. These machines are new technology, and a big hit with pubs. They pay for themselves over and over as you cut staff time at the end of every shift.

2. Cutlery Polishers - another great labour-saving device, reducing the endless hours of drying and polishing knives, forks and spoons. One staff member can do the work of three or four.

3. Speed Ovens - like the little ovens used to toast your roll at Subway. Fast technology that creates quality snacks at any time of the day, without skilled labour - it's a combination of microwave and convection oven. The timer makes sure that nothing is burnt, and most food is ready in 30 seconds.

4. Salad Benches - have the ingredients for salads, sandwiches and pizza within reach on the bench top. No more bending and poking under the bench. These units can easily replace existing bench fridges.

5. Combi Ovens - increase the quality of roasts, function menus and all the food you serve on a busy night. The combination of heat & moisture cooking reduces waste and gives exact control over time and temperature, - preset controls mean almost anyone can use them. Serve the best pork roast in your area, or a special dinner for 200 - easy!
